104 Preparing the Directory Structure for Deployment in Embedded Linux
Configuring a Source System
You need an optimally configured system both for testing purposes and as the
source for the SYSCFG and RAC configuration files to be used in the
deployment process. See "Using the DTK Sample Scripts to Capture
Configuration Information in Embedded Linux" for instructions on using the
sample DTK scripts, syscap.sh and raccap.sh, to generate SYSCFG and RAC
configuration files that are used to configure the target system.
You can use the Dell Systems Build and Update Utility
and the Systems
Service and Diagnostics Tools
on the Dell Systems Management Tools and
Documentation
DVD supplied with your system to:
• Streamline the operating system installation
• Setup and configure your system, including automatic discovery and
configuration of Dell-provided RAID controllers and network adapters
• Access and load the latest utilities, drivers, and diagnostics for your system
• Install Dell OpenManage™ systems management software
NOTE: You can also obtain the latest drivers from the Dell Support website at
support.dell.com.
For complete information about using the Dell Systems Build and Update
Utility
and the Dell Systems Service and Diagnostics Tools, see the Dell
Systems Build and Update Utility Quick Reference Guide and the Dell Systems
Service and Diagnostics Tools Quick Installation Guide respectively, which are
available on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com and
on the
Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD .
After you have loaded the operating system and all applicable device drivers
from the
Systems Build and Update Utility and Systems Service and
Diagnostics Tools, check the Dell Support website at support.dell.com for the
latest drivers. Put all necessary drivers to be used in the deployment in the
system directory for the target system. For example, if your target system is a
PowerEdge 1850, put all necessary files in the /opt/dell/toolkit/systems/pe1850
directory.
